            Bug ID: 133536
           Summary: Links to external files in a Calc table integrated in
                    a Writer document can no longer be updated.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.8.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
If a Calc table is integrated into a Writer Document and there is a link to
another, external Calc table containing data, this link can no longer be
updated.

Steps to Reproduce:
In the attached example writer document ('Writer Document with integrated Calc
Table.odt') a small Calc table is integrated.
In field B1 of this table, a number (here in the example 2, 3, 4 or 5) can be
entered that refers to a corresponding row number of the external Calc table
('Calc Table with external Data.ods'). 
In fields B2 and B3 of the integrated Calc table, the INDEX function is used to
access and display the values of the external Calc table. Accordingly, field B2
displays the value of the row number of column A of the external Calc table
entered in B1. Field B3 displays the value of column B accordingly.

Actual Results:
If one or more values in the external Calc table are now changed, the Calc
table integrated in the Writer document will initially display the previous
value(s). 
If you click on "Edit", "Link to external files..." and "Update", the changed
values from the external Calc table should also be displayed in the integrated
Calc table. But this is not the case from version 6.2.8 (up to the latest
version 7.0.0.0). The previous values are still displayed and there is no
possibility to display the changed, current values of the external Calc table.

Expected Results:
This worked fine until LibreOffice version 6.2.5.2! 
The versions 6.2.6 and 6.2.7 were not tested by us.


Reproducible: Always
